Simviation Forums

Well as some of you might know, a big part of aviation that has always been my passion, is aviation photography. For years I have visited airports and taken pictures of the aircrafts taking off and landing. When in the plane, I would always manage to get up front and take a picture of the cockpit. I have a ton of gear and always looking for different points of perspective.
Only about a year ago I started to snap shots in the Sim, but was never really happy with the "quality" of the pictures. Part of the reason being that in order to have a quality shot, it had to look real and as many of you know that required all of your settings in FS2K2 to be at their maximum which many of us only wished for!
Many of us who visit the "Graphic" forums have come to know a guy we refer to as RAMSA329. His shots have always impressed me as to how real everything looked. From the scenery to the aircraft, this was the type of Quality I was used to!! It was time to contact him.
I would like to extend my Thanks to Ramsa for his time spent with me. He spent a few nights "in" my pc and has turned it into a whole different machine. The learning experience about drivers and settings and my PC in general, has made the graphic side of FS2K2 an area that I can now really understand and appreciate. He was extremely patient, informative and had the answers to all my questions. All of this for a small donation from me. We are still working together to do some final "tweaking" but I wanted to get some pictures out since I have not "taken" any in a while. Thanks again Michael for all your help. You have made Flight Simulator 2002, "As Real As It Gets"!!

Actually, if I had High speed, I would have scooped up that 757 pack, but at 23mb.....sorry. They are repaints of Mike Stones 757's. You can get the repaint and aircraft link at http://www.gjsmith.net/Textures/b757.htm
As for frame rates they are very freindly.

Thanks Dave  8)
